8、ning)部分提供了三首歌曲，要求学生通过听弄清歌名，歌词大意并对这些歌曲谈感受。“口语”(Speaking)部分提供了Joe和Susan之间的对话。Peter的生日就要到了，Joe想送Peter生日礼物，于是征求Susan的意见，从而引出了asking and giving advice.整个活动以说为主，同时涉及了听、读、写的技能。这一设计训练学生在比较真实情景中口头表达的能力和丰富他们asking and giving advice的句型。“读前”(Pre-reading)提供了有关“音乐”话题的四个问题。引导学生为下一不“阅读”作好思想准备。“阅读”(Reading)部分介绍了一些有趣

9、的音乐风格，如blueship-hoprapLatin music等。“读后”(Post-reading)部分分两块。第一块要求学生在小组里讨论四个问题，其中前两个问题是针对文章的理解，评价学生对文章理解的程度；第三个问题要求学生结合文章谈论自己的看法；第四个问题是开发性的，目的在于培养学生的思辩能力。第二块要求学生根据课文对所设计的六个句子先判断正误，然后加以改正。“语言学习”(Language study)分词汇和语法两部分。判断一个人词汇量的大小，应该看两个方面，一个是外在数量，即单词的个数；另一个是内在数量，即单词词义的个数。本教材与旧教材相比，大大重视单词词义的个数，本单元讲解了四个

10、词汇：beatpickrockstyle,每个词都讲解了三个用法。语法部分是各种时态的主动语态和被动语态的转换。“综合技能”(Integrating skills)提供了一篇北京师范大学2001级学生曹向前同学写的文章（经过改写）Pop Versus Rock。文中着重阐述了Pop songs 和Rock songs之间的区别。通过对这篇文章的学习，要求学生写一篇题为Traditional Chinese music vs Modern Chinese music的文章。“学习建议”（Tips）部分提供了有关话题“音乐”的总结性语言。“复习要点”(Checkpoint)部分简要地总结了本单元的

11、语法要点The Passive Voice in Different Tenses,并且设计了练习，帮助学生自评。同时通过两个问题引导学生对本单元所学的词汇作一次小结。3.
